Louvre Reopens Without Stolen Jewels | Canada News

The Louvre’s Apollo Gallery reopens this week, dazzling visitors with its sun-inspired 17th-century splendor — but the stolen jewels are gone, hidden in a secure vault. The heist last October, where thieves snatched $102 million in crown jewels in under seven minutes, left a global trauma. Museum director Christophe Leribault and Culture Minister Catherine Pégard frame the reopening as a rebirth — a chance to marvel at the gallery’s art and architecture, while acknowledging the vulnerability of even the world’s most iconic institutions. Security has been overhauled with cutting-edge tech, part of a $100 million decade-long upgrade that also includes a new home for the Mona Lisa.
